Interfering in foreign elections is fine now

After months of accusing Vladimir Putin of interfering in the US election, former US president Barack Obama has openly endorsed Emmanuel Macron for French president, saying that “he is committed to a better future for the French people.

Obama posted a video Thursday morning giving his support to Macron, the centrist liberal candidate who is running against the nationalist candidate Marine Le Pen.

I know that you face many challenges and I want all of my friends in France to know how much I am rooting for your success, Obama said, adding Because of how important this election is, I also want you to know I am supporting Emmanuel Macron to lead you forward. En march. Vive la France.

Obama added that Macron appeals to peoples hopes and not their fears.

He has stood up for liberal values. He put forward a vision for the important role that France plays in Europe and around the world.

Macron immediately tweeted the video out:

Obama noted that “I’m not planning to get involved in many elections anymore, now I don’t have to run for office again.”

The hypocrisy of Obama inserting his voice into another nation’s election wasn’t lost on many:

So it seems that it is only deemed interference in an election when the Russians do it.

President Trump has not commented directly on the French election, except to opine that the terror attack in PARIS last month would help Le Pen because she is the strongest on borders and she is the strongest on what’s been going on in France.

Obama’s intervention comes on the heels of Macron and Le Pen debating on live television in France, during which Macron lashed out at Le Pen’s supporters, branding them anti-France, “Hateful Cowards,” and true enemies.
